I didn't though :). See email about new initialization rules. I think
that they are much mire in keeping with C and C++. More generally it
makes the grammar programmer responsible for behaviour, which is in
line with the rest of the C stuff.
David's point about C++ is correct though 0 == NULL is guranteed in
ANSI C, evenbthough rhe compiler must work it out. Better to use NULL
consistently and try to avoid adding to the billion dollars.
